AR is fearless, relentless, and creative on the offensive end.

His defense is improving too. Bigger guards will still be able to back him down but AR is closing the gap on D.
And he must have one of the highest number of charges taken on the team.

Love watching him play and I bet most GMs and coaches in the league would love to have him.

We have to lock him up the first opportunity we have. And I think he will fit beautifully with Luka and LBJ.

All 3 have bball IQs through the roof.

As what I had said Over and over again. Keep Austin. And we saw exactly why. This guy could take over if Bron or Luka is out. And I could even see him making the last play or taking the last shot on a crucial game. He also knows how to adjust his game so I believe he, Bron and Luka could share the court anytime soon.

Austin is a bad, bad man. Thrilled that he’s on our team. Laker for life, please. Pay him the star money he deserves when that time comes; don’t let him get lost in free agency like Fisher.

Austin has Bron and Luka (AD) to benefit from. He often gets single coverage because of the other two threats. If he’s the man on ‘his own’ team getting double and triple teamed, perhaps his game would not be as effective.

I see him as our smaller version of Ginobili. He can play on and off the ball, break down the defense on his own, shoots well from everywhere, passes the ball very well, gets to the line a lot, and he is clutch on FTs as well as from the field — he wants the big shot. Like Ginobili; he’s the perfect third star.
